About this map

Peaked Mtn and Cranberry Mtn dominate this interior landscape of Washington County, where the topography is defined by a series of prominent glacial ridges and an intricate system of freshwater lakes. The hydrology of the region is centered on the Lower Cranberry Lake and the connected waters of Mopang First Lake, Mopang Second Lake, and Mopang Lake. These basins feed into Mopang Stream and the West Branch Machias River, reflecting a classic Maine wilderness drainage pattern.

Linear ridges such as Elwell Ridge and Tibbets Ridge run parallel to the water bodies, while the boundary between Washington and Hancock counties cuts through the western portion of the map. A network of numbered forest roads, including 31-00-0 RD and 48-44-0 RD, provides the only modern access into this timberland and sporting territory, tracing the same landforms that have long shaped the region's character.
